DPU: sen Payout: % MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS HISTORICAL DPU SINCE IPO Backed by higher distributable income, the Fund has distributed a higher DPU of 8.10 sen for FY2022, which represents a growth of 3.8% compared to FY2021. It has surpassed not only the pre-pandemic distribution in FY2019, but also achieved a historic 10-year high. This remarkable achievement was due to cost savings from the refinancing exercise in FY2021 and no rental support given during the financial year. Using 2021 as a baseline, the Manager optimistic that the upwards trend will continue in the coming years. 0 4 8 12 DPU (sen) Payout (%) 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 2.72 7.73 7.70 8.01 7.80 7.70 7.65 6.81 7.32 7.69 7.70 8.10 7.85 7.75 7.70 7.80 8.10 2006 2009 2012 2015 2018 2007 2010 2013 2016 2019 2021 2008 2011 2014 2017 2020 2022 99% 99% 99% 99% 98% 100% 100% 100% 95% 95% 95% 95% 96% 96% 96% 96% 100% After years of building solid foundation for Al-`Aqar, the Manager has also developed a comprehensive 5-Year Plan (20232027) for the Group with the following objectives: 01 02 03 To double the current investment properties value of RM1.7 billion (as at 31 December 2022) to approximately RM3.0 billion by end2027 by actively acquiring properties.
